Celebrating Our Legacy. Shaping the Future.

This year marks a major milestone for ArtsKC—25 years of advancing the lives of our regional community through the arts. What started as a bold idea has grown into a thriving movement supporting artists, arts organizations, and audiences across the Kansas City region.

As we reflect on the incredible impact we’ve made together, we invite you to be a part of the next chapter.

We believe, now more than ever, that having arts and culture in our lives makes us healthier, helps us learn and grow, and brings our communities together in meaningful ways.
